This tutorial provides an overview of different resources available at the UST Libraries for research, including databases by subject, UST OneSearch, reference resources, and Google Scholar. It explains that databases by subject and research guides can help identify relevant databases for a topic. UST OneSearch searches books, articles, and other materials.

Library Database and Google Scholar
Library databases are online resources subscribed to by libraries that contain articles, newspapers, journals, and reference materials. They provide focused, in-depth coverage of academic disciplines. In contrast, Google Scholar broadly searches scholarly literature without filters. While accessible online, library database content comes from real print sources and includes full-text articles not always found through general searches. They are curated resources paid for by libraries to support research.
Subject Searching
Subject searching allows users to conduct more precise searches. It involves starting with a keyword search, finding a relevant item, and viewing its subject headings. Users can then click on the most relevant subject heading to retrieve a list of all items on that subject from the library catalog. An example demonstrates searching for "banning AND whale AND hunting," viewing the six subject headings of resulting items, and clicking "whales" to see 39 titles on that specific subject.

This document provides an overview of the differences between keyword and subject searches when researching a topic. It defines keywords as descriptive words from a title or text, while subject headings are standardized terms assigned to materials on a topic. Keywords can be found anywhere in a document, while subject headings search a specific field. Keyword searches usually return more results but may be less targeted, while subject searches yield fewer but often more relevant results if the correct term is used. The document provides examples and tips for effective searching using both methods.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
